Chapter 381 Olivia's Dependent

Is there any more...

Olivia coughed lightly, with a little embarrassment: "It's a bit embarrassing to say, but I can only provide one place for my dependents."

Richard raised his head suddenly, as if a dog that has been hungry for a long time has seen meat, and looked at Olivia with bright eyes: "What you said is true?"

"Yes...but there is another option, which is tax exemption for 20 years. I think you should seriously consider it."

In fact, when she was thinking about it, she only thought of tax exemption, which was strongly suggested by Nan Nuo.

Without thinking about anything, Richard quickly made a decision: "I choose to be your dependent."

Olivia's family and Viscount Cliff's family are very different. At least becoming Viscount Cliff's family can directly enter the management authority center of Cliff City, and become Olivia's family. The dependents can probably only be responsible for some marginal affairs.

The matter of the glasses workshop is important or not. It is important because the profit margin of the glasses workshop is indeed considerable. It is not important because the focus of work in Cliff City is not yet the economy. When it's over, they can't relax for a day.

Olivia reminded: "I think you should understand that you are my family member, not Viscount Cliff's family member. Although I am indeed the heir of the Cliff family, I am far from mature enough. I will make mistakes at any time, and I am not a person worth following."

Richard was stunned: "Wait, are you talking about yourself?"

"Of course," Olivia was very frank, she faced her shortcomings honestly, "I am like this."

Richard said: "But in my eyes, you are a very good person."

"You do your work and your people personally. No matter what it is, if it is reported to you, it will be properly resolved. Every spring plowing, you will go to the field to inquire about the situation. Every autumn harvest, you You will also go to the warehouse to check the harvested results, if something unfair happens, you will definitely find a way to investigate it clearly, and then make a decision, why do you think you are not good?"

Olivia's eyes widened in astonishment: "These are just my responsibilities, and they are not something worthy of praise."

She should complete her own job, whether she goes to the field or to the warehouse, it is all for the sake of not having any problems with her job. Is it considered "excellent" just to achieve this level?
If she was really good, why didn't mother ever praise her even a word?

"Miss Olivia," Richard said softly but solemnly, "it is a remarkable thing to be able to persist in doing one's own job perfectly."

Perhaps what Richard said is correct, but these things are not the time for her to think about these things right now.

Olivia breathed out: "Since you are willing to trust me so much, I will try my best to repay you."

Richard, who received this promise, was very pleasantly surprised: "Yes, thank you Miss Olivia! I will not let you down."

Protecting the rights and interests of the family members is what she should do as the master, but the rules still need to be set and clarified in advance to avoid future problems.

"Then let's talk about the dependents." Although Olivia did not expect that Richard would become her dependents, she still prepared a contract with the dependents and handed it to Richard, "First of all, I will not accept anyone other than you as the candidate for this family member, nor will I recognize anyone else as my family member, let me make this clear first."

She would not allow a person to become enlightened and ascend to heaven. What she valued was the benefits that Richard could bring her. For this reason, she was willing to give Richard some rights, but she would not give any more.

"I understand," Richard replied humbly, "I will certainly restrain my family and will not allow anyone to tarnish your reputation."

Olivia was very satisfied with Richard's approach: "Then prepare, tomorrow I will formally introduce you to Your Excellency the Viscount in the name of a family member."

Richard didn't even know how he got home, and when he came back to his senses, he was already standing at the door.

He entered the house and asked his wife to find him the most decent and exquisite clothes, so that he could appear in front of Viscount Cliff tomorrow in his best condition.

Although his clothes are clean and tidy today, they have been worn several times, and traces of washing can be seen. Fortunately, Olivia doesn't care how he wears.

The wife wondered: "What happened, why do you want to wear that dress all of a sudden?"

Richard excitedly said to his wife: "Miss Olivia wants me to be her family member, and she will introduce me to Viscount Cliff tomorrow."

The wife was so frightened by Richard's speech that she didn't hold the things in her hand and fell with a bang.

Richard said dissatisfiedly: "Be careful, those cufflinks are very expensive."

"No, no," the wife came over and grabbed his clothes in a panic, "Miss Olivia, what does this mean? Why did she suddenly propose such a thing?"

Richard patted the back of his wife's hand to reassure her: "It's not a sudden suggestion. Miss Olivia is serious. She visited the store half a month ago, and then checked our family's affairs. I miss her. It must have been prepared for a long time."

His wife's natal family is also a businessman in Cliff City, so she probably knows something about Viscount Cliff, and said worriedly: "Your Excellency, the Viscount has never liked us businessmen very much. Miss Olivia took great pains to introduce us. What's the use of you? What good is it for her to go against the Viscount's preferences? Besides, there should be no shortage of talents in the Viscount's hands."

Richard thought for a while, and expressed some of his inner guesses, at least to let his wife know what to expect: "Miss Olivia asked me to be her servant, not Your Excellency the Viscount."

This sentence is a bit interesting. His wife wanted to open her mouth to ask something, but Richard covered her mouth, motioning her not to ask, and at the same time said something meaningful: "Young people always have their own ideas. "

Maybe Miss Olivia was obedient to Viscount Cliff in the past, but as she grew older, she might have different opinions on some of Viscount Cliff's ideas and implement them.

It is very common for old and new to confront each other, not to mention Cliff's family, even theirs. He didn't just take over the family business from his father smoothly.

But the gods fight, and the imp suffers.

"Then will you be involved in something..." the wife murmured worriedly.

This is indeed where the risk lies. Richard's Adam's apple rolled up and down, as if he was overcoming his inner fear, and then slowly said: "Wealth and wealth are found in insurance, the greater the risk, the greater the opportunity."

After all, the world still belongs to young people. No matter what the final result is, the current Viscount Cliff will not replace Olivia, the heir, so his chances are indeed great.
